1950’s AUSTRALIA’S FIRST SKYSCRAPER HISTORY & OVERVIEW A Melbourne landmark in its own right, One Nicholson set the precedent for the late 1950’s race to shape the city’s skyline. Reaching new heights in innovation, the building’s International Style architecture and sophisticated glass curtain wall are representative of distinguished mid-20th century modernity. Once commanding the title of Australia’s tallest building, One Nicholson continues to shape and enhance Melbourne’s skyline. The well renowned architectural firm Bates Smart, embraced international style architecture with the innovative glass curtain wall, drawing inspiration from New York’s Lever House and United Nations Secretariat. A timeless masterpiece, One Nicholson has since been re-energised with a refreshed neutral palette and eclectic interior styling, capturing the glamour of the late 1950s. One Nicholson was awarded the Australian Institute of Architects enduring architecture prize and is a national heritage listed building. The interior aesthetic completed by wood, glass, steel and concrete are the key to One Nicholson’s unique appeal. The collective strengths of Scandinavian wood, glass, steel and concrete combine to establish a rare authenticity. This raw honesty, often concealed in comparable structures, truly sets this building apart. These design assets, coupled with finishes in the style of 1950s elegance and floor-to-ceiling windows, creates ambient light-filled spaces. An elevated position in the north eastern corner of the CBD offers sweeping panoramic views showcasing all of Melbourne’s icons. Surrounded by unique culinary destinations for both replenishing work breaks and impressive business meetings, One Nicholson is within proximity to an abundance of places to indulge in a Melbourne dining experience. A sheltered escape from the hustle and bustle is provided by the building’s private garden, designed by renowned landscape architect John Stevens, and complemented by a striking feature fountain by sculptor Gerald Lewers. Occupants are spoilt for choice with nearby Parliament, Carlton and Fitzroy Gardens. Modern end-of-trip facilities including bicycle amenities and One Nicholson’s iconic internal stairwell promote an active lifestyle for businesses and their teams. 18 Sievers, Wolfgang - PIC P2023/1-20 LOC Q59 – National Library of Australia
